2. Remove the cover from the side panel of the
luggage area.
3. Unfasten the bulb fitting by pressing down
the clip, see arrow, and remove by twisting
towards the centre of the vehicle.
4. Press the bulb in slightly and turn to the left,
take out and change it.
5. Reattach the bulb holder so that it clicks
into place.

In the case of xenon headlights, the park-

replacing the bulb, ensure that the bulb fitting
